I am a big sucker when it comes to Kdramas and I spend a hell lot of time watching the raw and subbed videos. I have been diligently following most of the tv series shown in SBS,KBS,MBC and TVN and other cable channels. Currently, I have been addicted with KING 2 Hearts, Rooftop Prince, Equator Man, Queen Inhyun's Man,Marriage Plot and Special Affairs Team.

My addiction with kdrama is somewhat making me more interested about learning Korean language. It would be easier for me to follow kdramas and I could save a lot of time as I do not have to worry when the subbed episodes would be released. It's really frustrating as it would take at least 24 hours before I can enjoy the vids. I do watch the raw videos but It's quite difficult to follow the story without any hints about what the characters are saying.

M.I.B . I am really rooting for this group since they started promoting those solo MVs showing how talented the group is. I love Kang Nam and wait... this song is actually a collab with Yoon Mi rae..oh yeah the queen of hiphop world.. I must admit that she topped my "BAd ass rappers in Korea" list..then we have Cl then Miryo..

I crumble down at the repeating days,even I am getting scaredI guess this is what breaking up is all about(You know me yeah you know me)My heart that is so broken and bruised hurts so muchI start to cry and search for you again

I'm really scaredthat I will only remember you forever(You know me yeah you know me)I'm in too deep that I can't forget youI start to cry and slowly start to go crazy

I try to erase you butthe times that we hadThey are all too special to me(Very special it's very special)I try to let it all go, I try to wear it all off butI can't be like you, even if I try,I can't let it go

Last night, my twitter timeline filled with tweets about the showcase of EXO and the performance for their debut title track "MAMA." SM Entertainment also announced that the group will debut (FINALLY) this coming April 9. EXO created a lot of buzz as numerous teasers were released and they had already been taking part on a lot of SM- related activities.

I have watched all the teasers, performances and have observed their personality and looks. Indeed, the EXO-M and EXO-K are really good looking, talented and appealing but the problem with the group is that EXO is a clear copycat of DBSK and SHINEE. Is that a problem? Yes, it is because many DBSK and SHinee die hard fans are threatened that SM Ent will not give too much attention to their beloved idols and just focus on EXO. Even SUJU fans are irked by the attention that SM is giving to EXO while the company is giving less care with SUJU. The group may already have established their fanbase but they attract too much hate that is not very healthy for their career.

I really don't like the group because they still lack the uniqueness and that is very important in KPOP WORLD. EXO cannot live forever as DBSK-SHINEE copycats so they really need to prove themselves. I just hope that they would showcase more of their talents that would display their individuality and some characteristics that would really make them extra ordinary. WHo knows, I might get to like them but for now, I can see DBSK and SHINEE with them and NO EXO.
